Everyone has already read the articles pertaining to the service cuts and increase in wait times on DDOT buses, even the delay in the equipping of bike racks on buses, and continued use of old buses that should have been replaced a long time ago.

I ask all of you for suggestions that I can present at the next Customer Information meeting to help DDOT be a better provider of public transportation.

I'm well aware that many will say that it would take the formation of a regional authority. However, it will take an act from the legislative to form one. So we must find ways of implementing changes that can be put into place quickly.

One of those suggestions that I will propose will be to give traffic signal priority to buses that are currently in service. Place a electric device on a bus and every time the bus gets closer to a light and it is green, that light stays green longer.

I look forward to hearing all of your suggestions.
